He added that with
improvements in information technology and new standards in global
communication, Nigeria should have been reckoned with as a top player internationally.
He therefore pointed out that it has become inevitable that a new leadership
regime must take the centre stage in the governance of our dear Nation so as to
bring to bear fresh ideas and innovative abilities of the younger Nigerian
generation.

put an end to the stagnation, redundancy, and underdevelopment that have been
witnessed over many decades of our Nationhood.

Comrade Oladipo
Aberuagba, an exco member of the movement pointed out that Nigerian youth had
performed brilliantly in all fields of endeavor especially sports,
entertainment, ICT and general business. They are top executive managers in
both private and public sectors and it is very disappointing to know that some
people are still selling the idea that Nigerian youths are not experienced or
matured for leadership.

The Lagos State coordinator, Comrade Nwoko Cosmos regretted
that it is quiet unfortunate that an oil producing Nation like Nigeria should
still be importing fuel at this stage of global awareness. According to him,
all that Nigerians are yearning for is basic amenities, peace and security, and
the protection of life and property for all Nigerians. He added that the era of
lies and propaganda is over and that Nigeria must give way for a more creative
and dynamic leadership team that will help us all achieve the much talked about
Nigerian dream.

The National coordinator used the opportunity to call on
all Nigerian youths to compulsorily register and get their PVCs and make sure
that they play an active role in the next electoral exercise. He urged them to
shun all forms of electoral violence, thuggery, rigging, ballot box snatching,
and other forms of destructive activities during the polls. He opined that the
future of this great nation lies in the activities of the youth population.
